I ran my hand over the broken and jagged edge which had been my arm. It seemed to spit at me angrily, sparks jumping out towards my fingers. It felt so strange to be without my arm, so out of place. It also added a degree of helplessness. At least 17 would be able to defend himself with both of his hands. But reason suddenly spoke up, it wasn't as if we were going to be able to defend ourselves anyway. We had no more weapons, the only one we had left we were afraid to use. A shiver was sent down my spine as I remembered again my weakness. How could I have failed, how could I be so weak? We could have destroyed Suiceene then and there, ended this whole thing right now. But it was still going on. Up above us Suiceene and Vegeta were trading blow for at unbelievable speeds. It was as if they had progressed to a whole new level of power. How fool was I believing that I could influence matters, that between us we could have killed her. It was going to take a far more potent force to smash Suiceene. Was Vegeta that source. After the two fights I had with him I wasn't sure. How could this be the same warrior that I had crushed with such ease? And yet he was still up there shining in his electric glory. He was still the only chance the earth had yet to survive, and yes, he was the only hope we had left to survive. We had to rely on one of our mortal enemies to defeat the monster that was Suiceene. Reduced to spectators all we had left was to watch the match. Our one chance was over, would Vegeta also mess up his one chance to rid the earth of her? Why could I have done it, how could I have failed? It was one button, all I had to do was press one button….

I wasn't sure, it seemed so minimal, but I was beginning to feel that Vegeta was gaining the upper hand. It was only slight, one attack more than Suiceene and one hit more defended but still. I was waiting to pick up on any small sign that either one was weakening. Suiceene had made an incredible comeback to be so evenly matched with Vegeta but even so. The way her veins stood out so plain seemed to be an indication that she was straining herself more. I smiled grimly at myself. Here was I reading into every tiny small sign that Suiceene was losing, hoping against hope that Vegeta would strike a major blow or that she would suddenly collapse or something. Suddenly Suiceene seemed to give a small spasm, it was quick I wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't concentrating so fully on the fight. Taking advantage of Suiceene's momentary weakness Vegeta knocked her block down before smashing his fist into her face. As she fell back Vegeta swung his leg toward her body but she just managed to catch it. As if inspired by this Vegeta started a huge assault on her striking again and again, Suiceene unable to do anything but block. Come on Vegeta I silently chanted, come on, break through her block. This was his chance to take control of the fight. And as I watched he managed to get a punch through again but he was able to follow up the kick this time, smashing her down through a pillar of rock. He was after her immediately and the fight continued down behind the rock out of our sight for a little while before a figure suddenly shot up into the sky. I just managed to identify it as Suiceene and that she had been thrown before Vegeta shot up from the rock back into contact with her. It was even shorter this time, before Suiceene was hurtling down into the ground again. But this time Vegeta didn't move. He simply floated up in the sky and waited for Suiceene to emerge. Seconds later she emerged from the dirt her face etched with deep lines of anger. "Come on Suiceene. Is that all you have?" With a roar Ki shone around her and she rocketed upwards. For a second it seemed like she was winning but Vegeta quickly took control, first hitting her in the face before raising one hand in front of her face and letting loose a huge Big Bang attack. Again Vegeta stayed still in the air as Suiceene emerged from the rock looking worse that before, almost her whole chest was bleeding but from what I could see none of them seemed to be too deep. What was much more significant was her right paw cupped over the wound in her gut. It looked like that what I was hoping was coming true, she was definitely weakening.

I stared defiantly up at Vegeta clenching my left paw, before letting the claws slips back into place. I had fighting at my very limits, giving it everything I had. I had been able to match Vegeta and for a brief moment I had felt like I was winning. But as I had predicted my body hadn't been able to take the strain of the injury and fighting at full power. And as I had weakened Vegeta had started to dominate. I couldn't keep up with him any longer, not for long. As things stood I couldn't beat him but the way things were going my injury was more likely to take me out than him or at least take me down to a power where I couldn't continue to defend myself. Narrowing my eyes I let my eyes play over the battle field, there must be some way I could defeat. Desperation and the grim feeling of death had pushed most of the anger out of us. We were not going to win this battle by charging him down, it had to be another way. But he had no obvious weak points, and there was little in this deserted battlefield to help me. There was one way I knew I could defeat him, but I wasn't even going to contemplate that method. I would give everything I had, I would strike when his back was turned, use his friends against him, play possum but never use something like that. I smiled slightly through my gritted teeth, here was I thinking about something like that when I had a fight to win. It wasn't as if this break was going to help me regain my strength, I could feel it slipping away. There is another way you can beat him. We can't use the Caranous Zelzs, I don't think we can any more, since you discovered your true form And you were never fond of that particular one anyway, I cold never see why It held too many bad memories for me. But then how, if the Zelzs doesn't work anymore There is an ancient power connected with the Neophalie's Daemon form. It carries risks but we could beat him Vegeta was beginning to look impatient, I had to hurry this up. My life was hanging on this. I had a good idea that whatever it was planning it would require a ceremony of some sorts, the Zelzs did, it lasted about a minute. I wasn't sure if Vegeta would let me perform one, or if he would just kill me while I was doing it. Should I instead continue fighting the way I had, perhaps try using some Ki attacks and see how he handled them. It was a battle winning or losing choice, take something I had no idea about and would leave me wide open for an attack or to take the option I knew about but which only carried a slim chance of winning. There was only one option I could take. I was already curious about this new power my Daemon was talking about. I already knew that she was much older than I was, she knew certain things about the previous Neophalie's but rarely talked about them. All of them discovered this power during their lifetimes, at situation like this just like you have followed the same learning curve like them. Now we have to go back to our original form. The words and actions will come to you. I trusted her utterly, how else could we function as a body. With one movement we released the power and I felt my hair fall down my shoulders, the symbols disappear and my Daemon recede slightly. Up high above I could see Vegeta's eyes widen. Suddenly these thoughts were wiped from my head as my gut seemed to explode on fire. Clenching my paws I tried to ignore the pain, in this form it was multiplied by a couple of times. But I had things to do. Closing my eyes I concentrated on clearing my mind, I needed to remove all thoughts if I was to get through this. Gone were thoughts about Vegeta destroying me, about the pain in my gut, about the desire to get revenge, the desire to serve my Prince……
As my mind cleared words seemed to come into my head. Without thinking I started to repeat the ancient language of the Sayains. I was calling upon the power of my Daemon to be unleashed, as it had been done in the past. Memories that were not mine came into my head. The huge Changeling fleet was nearing Vegeta. The Neophalie had been called ten years earlier to defeat the huge Kronizor invasion. They had only been recently defeated and now a new army was approaching Vegeta. While she had been Sayains had attacked the home planet of the Changelings. She now prepared to sell herself dearly in front of her home planet, in front of the dying King. To the next Neophalie, 11 years since her calling, mustering up her strength to try and hold Vegeta together. The last attack had nearly destroyed the planet and she was enfusing all her power to try and hold the planet together. She needed the extra power to stop the explosion. Then a fight against the Mugan Tai master race, whose technology stretched back to the beginning of the Universe. Crude power verses the technology. Many Sayains had been sacrificed to try and kill the Android warriors. She of only 8 years had managed to kill all of the leaders bar one. The final battle stretched her and her daemon to their limits, barely holding their body in one piece. They needed the power to muster one last attack, to turn the tide before the entire Sayain race fell to their destruction. And then finally to the very beginning to the very first Sayain Neophalie. To where it all began. Her face was all I could see. Dark green eyes stared into mine before her paw reached toward me. Just before it touched me I suddenly got a view all around me. The high throne covered in symbols I barely recognised. All around me I was aware of warriors but they seemed like shadows to me. Standing very close to me, so closed their bodies pressed against mine, were three over warriors. Though the shadows I could just see their green skin…
I was suddenly back on the human planet and I was still chanting. My arms were covered in criss-cross cuts and the blood was dripping down to the ground. Without knowing why I raised my right paw before stabbing my tail deep into it. The pain screamed through my body but I didn't let a sound out. Retracting my tail I placed my bloody paw on my chest tracing the symbol of power on my chest. Suddenly power seemed to flow through me and I suddenly changed forms, back into my Daemon form. Glancing down I saw that the symbols which covered me were glowing a dark black. I turned my gaze up to Vegeta who was still floating above me. In the past the Sayain Neophalie's had fought and so would I. I was emotionless and so was my Daemon. This was the end, the last fight and the victor would finally appear. Two Sayains would fight but only one would live. It was time…..

This was turning into a nightmare. I was possibly being at bit over-dramatic but once more Suiceene had done something. And if my previous experiences were correct whenever she did something strange it was bad for the opposition. I remembered back to when she had gripped hold of my head. Even a move as simple as that could be deadly. And from the look on Vegeta's face it didn't look like he was paying the attention she deserved. For the past couple of minutes she had been doing some kind of strange ceremony. And throughout it all he remained like a statue, stonily staring down on her. Couldn't he realise that she would only being doing something like that to try and defeat him? Once again I wished that it was I who was fighting her other than Vegeta. At this point she would already be dead. The minute she had changed back to her original form I would have destroyed her, always hit your enemy when he is down, honour doesn't matter at all in battles. But then that was the crux, I wasn't fighting, I wasn't strong enough. So I was forced to watch as Suiceene had went though her little ceremony. I watched as she started first to chant strange alien words, watched as her voice deepened, watched as strange symbols seemed to burn their way into her body, watched in a strange fascination as she started to move, prowling backward and forward. Watched, confused, and she started to cut herself again and again, in the chest arms and legs. And all this time the words kept coming, the voice so deep I could barely hear it, her body surrounded by a black aura which was forming strange shapes, until in a strange climax she stabbed herself in the paw. And there she stood now, covered in blood, staring up at Vegeta with a strange confidence in her expression. Strange because pain was apparent in her face, but yet I could still sense her confidence. It was this that made me nervous, just die, just fall down and die. I suddenly didn't trust Vegeta, he was powerful but too cocky. However much power he had he still had to understand that defeating Suiceene would be the hardest thing he had ever done in his life. We the efficient killing machines, had failed on numerous occasions, Goku had failed, all the Ki the humans had got together had failed. Would he fail?
She started to rise up, rose until she was opposite to him. I could feel the tension start to form all around my body. This was it, who would emerge the stronger warrior, the black Daemon or the golden warrior of good? Ironic though, to call Vegeta good but compared to what I had seen of Suiceene he was an angel. Come on, I thought, good always wins, except in real life my reason told me. Perhaps it was good then that Vegeta did have an evil side to him. Suddenly I stopped myself, mid-ramble. What was going on, Androids didn't ramble, our thoughts were clear and concise. But before I could start to monitor my thoughts Vegeta sprang forward. Suiceene remained absolutely still until Vegeta was less than a punch length from her. There was a brief flash of black and then Vegeta was plummeting towards the earth. Halfway down a black shape knocked him upwards. After a second of flight he managed to regain himself and stop staring at the figure who had kicked him. It was impossible but yet it was still Suiceene who had moved so fast I hadn't even seen a blur. Depression set in just as the shock left. This was it, Suiceene was going to win the battle.
Suiceene
It had never been like this before. This was a different feeling and one I was surprised and not happy to have. With this strange new power there was no usual exhilaration I felt as I had surpassed my previous boundaries. My mind felt tiered and the lust for battle was gone. Ever since the war with the Changelings had ended I had felt different. I still didn't know why this was so and it had disturbed me in a strange way. To begin with everything had been normal when I started this fight but for the last little while I had started to note tiny changes. They were most apparent in my Daemon. It was as if the bloodlust which had been so strong had burnt itself out. The will to win still remained but it was more like I just wanted to get the battle over and done with. My Daemons mind had become cold and calculating and my own mind was approaching something like that. I was used to my Daemon's shift of emotions but my own feelings had never been like this in the middle of a battle. A dark sense of foreboding had started to plague me. And usually this was the best bit of a battle. The final battle of wills, the deciding fight. And my position was far from secure. The ceremony had opened up the 12 signs of Kalashish Dinsadbenoch, the twelve demoniac signs. They were scattered all around my body, large demonic symbols, symbols of power. Every time I opened one great power would surge through me for a short period. But once used I could never use them again, at least not in this battle. And I couldn't wait to long before using them either. When I changed into this form they were normally scattered around my body but as they were they were unusable. I had to first go through the ceremony and then they were accessed. But once accessed they strained my battered and bruised limbs. Using them made this strain worse but only though using them could I win. My Daemon had told me all this in a dispassionate tone. It was strange to think that this was the same voice which had been vowing to rip Vegeta limb from limb. But still, I couldn't afford to lose this battle. If I lost death awaited me……

Vegeta's face still held the traces of a smirk. "So," I heard him say "she still has some bite left in her. Come on Suiceene, show me what you've got!" Suiceene was still for a second before she started to fly towards him, her speed fast but nothing like the speed she had been going at earlier. There was something strange going on. I was watching her very carefully. Something had happened last time and I had missed it, it was important I kept my eyes on her now. If I could figure out what she was doing, then, perhaps I might be able to help Vegeta. This was a time to push differences aside, Suiceene's death meant at least a chance of life for us, Suiceene alive gave us no chance. Suiceene raised her paw as if to strike and then there seemed to be a miniature explosion of black and then Vegeta was thrown headfirst into a pillar of rock. He raised his head out only to be sent flying sideways. Suddenly I could see Suiceene again flying after Vegeta. She started to smash her paws into his upper body before sending him downwards. The difference was I could see her now, before she had been too fast for my vision. She must have trouble managing her new power, I realised, her wound was probably making it too much for her. I would have said something to Vegeta but a few seconds later I saw he must have realised it himself. Once more she charged changing at the last moment, but this time he was ready for her. Powering up just before she did he just managed to fend off her blows. He continued blocking until the black aura disappeared, and then he struck. Striking her paw away he smashed his fist into her face again and again before his punch suddenly dipped low and smashed into her gut. For a second there was no movement between the two. His face flecked with blood, Vegeta mouth was open in a wide battle cry, Suiceene's face seemed pale, her eyes dilated, staring over his shoulder. Suddenly the black light surrounded them and Vegeta was plucked from her and thrown away, managing to stop himself seconds later. His mouth was still open and he raised his glove to show it was red with her blood. Suiceene was breathing heavily, one paw clutched over the wound and she seemed to be shaking slightly.

Pain seemed to bite through me, slicing me in half. I felt like the hold was eating me alive taking bite after bite into my shuddering frame. Each breath sent the shudders through me, I was struggling to survive. We can't go on like this We were getting too weak, even using one of the power symbols had brought us equal to Vegeta. His power had suddenly went up, he was discovering how to use his form properly I realised. We have to concentrate. Ignore everything else, nothing but the fight No other thoughts, no weaknesses. I had already used three of the symbols, only nine left. He is a Changeling, would you let a Changeling do this do you. Together, one body, one mind, one thought. We have to win. We are the undefeatable! No more weakness, I took a deep shuddering breath and flexed my claws. We had to give this fight everything, everything we had. Suddenly he shot towards us. My eyes focused on him, closer, closer, just in front, rely on instinct! I teleportered at the last second and threw my elbow behind me without looking, smashed into his neck. I spun round already opening two symbols and cupping my hands out in front of me. I pushed all the power from the symbols into the attack, holding nothing back. The attack tore into him at point blank range tearing and slamming him into a cliff. Flying after him I struck again and again into his face. After a few seconds he managed to get his hands up to block. Just in front of him I opened up another two symbols which smashed him backwards. Using my paws again I concentrated on his lower body striking into the same spot each time before cupping my hands and used the last vestiges of the power to cup my paws and slam them into his head. And then before I could be hit by the strain of the changes I opened up all of the remaining symbols all at once and concentrating all the power into one hand shot it all down to surround him in the Gohinkensa Masa. This attack surrounded him with the Ki and as I squeezed my paw it bit into him searing and flooding his body with pain striking him again and again until the energy faded. Just before the pain hit me I just managed to catch a glance of a black haired warrior falling to the ground.
The next minute was a blur to be. Pain seared through my flesh, my body seemed on fire, it only barely managed to hold together when I had powered up all the power from five symbols into me. Wounds which had been long healed started to bleed again. When I finally managed to take over my body again I found my mouth was open, I must have been screaming. Between me and my Daemon we had pushed all the pain away, down to the wound where it was still lurking. But even so I was a wreck of my former self, I felt very weak, lost a lot of energy. But I had still won, I still had enough energy to kill everyone before going back to my ship. The rest of the planet could wait, it didn't really matter. But first I had to…… I had to finish the fight. I had to kill Vegeta. There he was lying far down below me, in a heap surrounded by the humans. Goku was also lying nearby. The Androids were standing on a pillar of rock, one of the few left standing, just to my right. Yes, think about something else, anything but the task you have to do. Her voice was tired but still commanding. I raised my paw to point down at the little group, the Androids I would have to take apart hand to hand, it would take too much Ki to try and destroy them. Just kill him and be done with it. I looked down at the figure below. He had refused the Sayain race, wanted to live the life of the traitor. He had also raised himself to my power, achieved a new level of Super Sayain. What are you doing? I continued to stare. He was my Prince, I had to protect him. But yet he spurned me, he didn't want to the Prince. Are you weakening? Just kill him and be done with it. We were a great race, a race that had been all but destroyed. It was up to me to protect the Sayain race, it was up to me to protect the Sayain Royalty. He was my Prince. I let my arm drop to my side I can't do it. A great peace washed over me. Throughout this fight I had known I would have to kill him. Two conflicting emotions had been distracting me. Loyalty to the Prince, loyalty to my race. And yet I had been forced to fight my Prince, fight who I had vowed to protect, going against every instinct. But then it was going against every instinct in my body to lose, to be weak, to be unable to kill. Are you saying that you cannot kill him? If I couldn't kill him, I could never kill again, my weakness would be too much for me to bear. Everytime I would try and kill I would see him, see my failure. Just blast downwards, kill them without looking. I could do that, but then could I live with myself after that? I couldn't, the act would shred me to pieces. I couldn't turn away either, go back to the ship. A Neophalie never ran, this would be settled here and now. If you cannot kill, you no longer deserve to live. I knew that as well, I would have to die instead rather than be a failure. In order to spare his life I would have to be the sacrifice. That made it easier to bear, I was dying to save my prince, a noble task rather than lacking the strength to kill. There be no turning back from death. The last Neophalie ever to live will die, the last chance of the Sayain race will die. Thyloch and all the others will soon be dead. Are you willing to be the destroyer of your own race? I could try and look at it from some other way but I would only be deluding myself. My weakness would destroy my race. One failure would mean the destruction of my entire race. All the ones before me had done, all I had done would be meaningless. And yet, that was my decision. Very well. Its time to die. I looked towards the Androids.
Please leave your comments or reviews. And so the end is drawing near, Suiceenes life and this story will soon end. But not yet, there are still some more twists to work through yet.

To where it all began. Her face was all I could see. Dark green eyes stared into mine before her paw reached toward me. Just before it touched me I suddenly got a view all around me. The high throne covered in symbols I barely recognised. All around me I was aware of warriors but they seemed like shadows to me. Standing very close to me, so closed their bodies pressed against mine, were three over warriors. Though the shadows I could just see their green skin…
I was suddenly back on the human planet and I was still chanting. My arms were covered in criss-cross cuts and the blood was dripping down to the ground. Without knowing why I raised my right paw before stabbing my tail deep into it. The pain screamed through my body but I didn't let a sound out. Retracting my tail I placed my bloody paw on my chest tracing the symbol of power on my chest. Suddenly power seemed to flow through me and I suddenly changed forms, back into my Daemon form. Glancing down I saw that the symbols which covered me were glowing a dark black. I turned my gaze up to Vegeta who was still floating above me. In the past the Sayain Neophalie's had fought and so would I. I was emotionless and so was my Daemon. This was the end, the last fight and the victor would finally appear. Two Sayains would fight but only one would live. It was time…..

This was turning into a nightmare. I was possibly being at bit over-dramatic but once more Suiceene had done something. And if my previous experiences were correct whenever she did something strange it was bad for the opposition. I remembered back to when she had gripped hold of my head. Even a move as simple as that could be deadly. And from the look on Vegeta's face it didn't look like he was paying the attention she deserved. For the past couple of minutes she had been doing some kind of strange ceremony. And throughout it all he remained like a statue, stonily staring down on her. Couldn't he realise that she would only being doing something like that to try and defeat him? Once again I wished that it was I who was fighting her other than Vegeta. At this point she would already be dead. The minute she had changed back to her original form I would have destroyed her, always hit your enemy when he is down, honour doesn't matter at all in battles. But then that was the crux, I wasn't fighting, I wasn't strong enough. So I was forced to watch as Suiceene had went though her little ceremony. I watched as she started first to chant strange alien words, watched as her voice deepened, watched as strange symbols seemed to burn their way into her body, watched in a strange fascination as she started to move, prowling backward and forward. Watched, confused, and she started to cut herself again and again, in the chest arms and legs. And all this time the words kept coming, the voice so deep I could barely hear it, her body surrounded by a black aura which was forming strange shapes, until in a strange climax she stabbed herself in the paw. And there she stood now, covered in blood, staring up at Vegeta with a strange confidence in her expression. Strange because pain was apparent in her face, but yet I could still sense her confidence. It was this that made me nervous, just die, just fall down and die. I suddenly didn't trust Vegeta, he was powerful but too cocky. However much power he had he still had to understand that defeating Suiceene would be the hardest thing he had ever done in his life. We the efficient killing machines, had failed on numerous occasions, Goku had failed, all the Ki the humans had got together had failed. Would he fail?
She started to rise up, rose until she was opposite to him. I could feel the tension start to form all around my body. This was it, who would emerge the stronger warrior, the black Daemon or the golden warrior of good? Ironic though, to call Vegeta good but compared to what I had seen of Suiceene he was an angel. Come on, I thought, good always wins, except in real life my reason told me. Perhaps it was good then that Vegeta did have an evil side to him. Suddenly I stopped myself, mid-ramble. What was going on, Androids didn't ramble, our thoughts were clear and concise. But before I could start to monitor my thoughts Vegeta sprang forward. Suiceene remained absolutely still until Vegeta was less than a punch length from her. There was a brief flash of black and then Vegeta was plummeting towards the earth. Halfway down a black shape knocked him upwards. After a second of flight he managed to regain himself and stop staring at the figure who had kicked him. It was impossible but yet it was still Suiceene who had moved so fast I hadn't even seen a blur. Depression set in just as the shock left. This was it, Suiceene was going to win the battle.

It had never been like this before. This was a different feeling and one I was surprised and not happy to have. With this strange new power there was no usual exhilaration I felt as I had surpassed my previous boundaries. My mind felt tiered and the lust for battle was gone. Ever since the war with the Changelings had ended I had felt different. I still didn't know why this was so and it had disturbed me in a strange way. To begin with everything had been normal when I started this fight but for the last little while I had started to note tiny changes. They were most apparent in my Daemon. It was as if the bloodlust which had been so strong had burnt itself out. The will to win still remained but it was more like I just wanted to get the battle over and done with. My Daemons mind had become cold and calculating and my own mind was approaching something like that. I was used to my Daemon's shift of emotions but my own feelings had never been like this in the middle of a battle. A dark sense of foreboding had started to plague me. And usually this was the best bit of a battle. The final battle of wills, the deciding fight. And my position was far from secure. The ceremony had opened up the 12 signs of Kalashish Dinsadbenoch, the twelve demoniac signs. They were scattered all around my body, large demonic symbols, symbols of power. Every time I opened one great power would surge through me for a short period. But once used I could never use them again, at least not in this battle. And I couldn't wait to long before using them either. When I changed into this form they were normally scattered around my body but as they were they were unusable. I had to first go through the ceremony and then they were accessed. But once accessed they strained my battered and bruised limbs. Using them made this strain worse but only though using them could I win. My Daemon had told me all this in a dispassionate tone. It was strange to think that this was the same voice which had been vowing to rip Vegeta limb from limb. But still, I couldn't afford to lose this battle. If I lost death awaited me……

Vegeta's face still held the traces of a smirk. "So," I heard him say "she still has some bite left in her. Come on Suiceene, show me what you've got!" Suiceene was still for a second before she started to fly towards him, her speed fast but nothing like the speed she had been going at earlier. There was something strange going on. I was watching her very carefully. Something had happened last time and I had missed it, it was important I kept my eyes on her now. If I could figure out what she was doing, then, perhaps I might be able to help Vegeta. This was a time to push differences aside, Suiceene's death meant at least a chance of life for us, Suiceene alive gave us no chance. Suiceene raised her paw as if to strike and then there seemed to be a miniature explosion of black and then Vegeta was thrown headfirst into a pillar of rock. He raised his head out only to be sent flying sideways. Suddenly I could see Suiceene again flying after Vegeta. She started to smash her paws into his upper body before sending him downwards. The difference was I could see her now, before she had been too fast for my vision. She must have trouble managing her new power, I realised, her wound was probably making it too much for her. I would have said something to Vegeta but a few seconds later I saw he must have realised it himself. Once more she charged changing at the last moment, but this time he was ready for her. Powering up just before she did he just managed to fend off her blows. He continued blocking until the black aura disappeared, and then he struck. Striking her paw away he smashed his fist into her face again and again before his punch suddenly dipped low and smashed into her gut. For a second there was no movement between the two. His face flecked with blood, Vegeta mouth was open in a wide battle cry, Suiceene's face seemed pale, her eyes dilated, staring over his shoulder. Suddenly the black light surrounded them and Vegeta was plucked from her and thrown away, managing to stop himself seconds later. His mouth was still open and he raised his glove to show it was red with her blood. Suiceene was breathing heavily, one paw clutched over the wound and she seemed to be shaking slightly.

Pain seemed to bite through me, slicing me in half. I felt like the hold was eating me alive taking bite after bite into my shuddering frame. Each breath sent the shudders through me, I was struggling to survive. We can't go on like this We were getting too weak, even using one of the power symbols had brought us equal to Vegeta. His power had suddenly went up, he was discovering how to use his form properly I realised. We have to concentrate. Ignore everything else, nothing but the fight No other thoughts, no weaknesses. I had already used three of the symbols, only nine left. He is a Changeling, would you let a Changeling do this do you. Together, one body, one mind, one thought. We have to win. We are the undefeatable! No more weakness, I took a deep shuddering breath and flexed my claws. We had to give this fight everything, everything we had. Suddenly he shot towards us. My eyes focused on him, closer, closer, just in front, rely on instinct! I teleportered at the last second and threw my elbow behind me without looking, smashed into his neck. I spun round already opening two symbols and cupping my hands out in front of me. I pushed all the power from the symbols into the attack, holding nothing back. The attack tore into him at point blank range tearing and slamming him into a cliff. Flying after him I struck again and again into his face. After a few seconds he managed to get his hands up to block. Just in front of him I opened up another two symbols which smashed him backwards. Using my paws again I concentrated on his lower body striking into the same spot each time before cupping my hands and used the last vestiges of the power to cup my paws and slam them into his head. And then before I could be hit by the strain of the changes I opened up all of the remaining symbols all at once and concentrating all the power into one hand shot it all down to surround him in the Gohinkensa Masa. This attack surrounded him with the Ki and as I squeezed my paw it bit into him searing and flooding his body with pain striking him again and again until the energy faded. Just before the pain hit me I just managed to catch a glance of a black haired warrior falling to the ground.
The next minute was a blur to be. Pain seared through my flesh, my body seemed on fire, it only barely managed to hold together when I had powered up all the power from five symbols into me. Wounds which had been long healed started to bleed again. When I finally managed to take over my body again I found my mouth was open, I must have been screaming. Between me and my Daemon we had pushed all the pain away, down to the wound where it was still lurking. But even so I was a wreck of my former self, I felt very weak, lost a lot of energy. But I had still won, I still had enough energy to kill everyone before going back to my ship. The rest of the planet could wait, it didn't really matter. But first I had to…… I had to finish the fight. I had to kill Vegeta. There he was lying far down below me, in a heap surrounded by the humans. Goku was also lying nearby. The Androids were standing on a pillar of rock, one of the few left standing, just to my right. Yes, think about something else, anything but the task you have to do. Her voice was tired but still commanding. I raised my paw to point down at the little group, the Androids I would have to take apart hand to hand, it would take too much Ki to try and destroy them. Just kill him and be done with it. I looked down at the figure below. He had refused the Sayain race, wanted to live the life of the traitor. He had also raised himself to my power, achieved a new level of Super Sayain. What are you doing? I continued to stare. He was my Prince, I had to protect him. But yet he spurned me, he didn't want to the Prince. Are you weakening? Just kill him and be done with it. We were a great race, a race that had been all but destroyed. It was up to me to protect the Sayain race, it was up to me to protect the Sayain Royalty. He was my Prince. I let my arm drop to my side I can't do it. A great peace washed over me. Throughout this fight I had known I would have to kill him. Two conflicting emotions had been distracting me. Loyalty to the Prince, loyalty to my race. And yet I had been forced to fight my Prince, fight who I had vowed to protect, going against every instinct. But then it was going against every instinct in my body to lose, to be weak, to be unable to kill. Are you saying that you cannot kill him? If I couldn't kill him, I could never kill again, my weakness would be too much for me to bear. Everytime I would try and kill I would see him, see my failure. Just blast downwards, kill them without looking. I could do that, but then could I live with myself after that? I couldn't, the act would shred me to pieces. I couldn't turn away either, go back to the ship. A Neophalie never ran, this would be settled here and now. If you cannot kill, you no longer deserve to live. I knew that as well, I would have to die instead rather than be a failure. In order to spare his life I would have to be the sacrifice. That made it easier to bear, I was dying to save my prince, a noble task rather than lacking the strength to kill. There be no turning back from death. The last Neophalie ever to live will die, the last chance of the Sayain race will die. Thyloch and all the others will soon be dead. Are you willing to be the destroyer of your own race? I could try and look at it from some other way but I would only be deluding myself. My weakness would destroy my race. One failure would mean the destruction of my entire race. All the ones before me had done, all I had done would be meaningless. And yet, that was my decision. Very well. Its time to die. I looked towards the Androids.
